I'd buy that for a dollar!!

Movie length: 1h43m14s

I love the news segments in Paul Verhoeven films! All I can think of is Starship Troopers when they're shown though 🤣

The smile at the end is so uplifting and amazing to see. Hurray Murphy!!!

For this style of reaction, you need your own copy to watch the movie.  You can set picture in picture by right clicking twice on the video and selecting "Picture in picture". The right clicking twice is a bit tricky, because you have to right click, then move your cursor so it's not on the menu, then right click again. You can also hold " ctrl + shift + ] " or control then shift then the ] key on your keyboard when you have a video window active and it will open the pop out

FULL LENGTH REACTION | RoboCop (1987) [2026]

You need your own copy of the media to watch along with me though since this is solely my reaction. The video is there so you can have an idea when the scene changes in case you need to sync up, but it is HEAVILY blurred so I don't have any copyright issues. Enjoy!!

In the scene near the end, when Clarence hits on Jones's secretary, that's Kurtwood Smith's real-life wife.

Every time I get to the last scene I see Lewis crawling to the gun I cringe thinking that water's nasty and she has open wounds. There's a bunch of hidden jokes, in particularly revolving around the auto industry, the 6000 SUX being a parady of the Pontiac 6000 and 80s cars as a whole.

🤣I'm going to rewatch that scene now!!

Verowak

Mmmm lovely bacteria 😨 I'm not surprised that there's a lot of hidden jokes, those make it so much more fun when people can notice them! I just noticed that it being parody, SUX makes a lot of sense 🤣 Reading it as one work outloud instead of an acronym changes things

This is such a fantastic movie! Tight script, great acting, fantastic practical effects, and endlessly quotable ('Can you fly, Bobby?', 'I'd buy that for a dollar!', 'Bitches leave!', and many more)! The music was composed by the late Basil Poledouris, who also scored 'the Hunt for Red October' and 'Conan the Barbarian' - in my mind somewhat of a master of big bombastic choir compositions. I'd also semi-recommend the first sequel to this movie; it's not nearly as good, but it has some great production values still, and is overall a bit more gorey, and not as on-point satirical, as this first one.

I hope you’re doing well. I love the crazy over the top characters in this, they’re pretty fun for baddies. The effects, makeup and costume departments did such great work, it still looks fantastic today IMO. My favourite little moments are still toxic melting Emil getting splattered by the car, Murphy’s face reveal, and all of ED209’s scenes, especially the bottom half falling over and the little foot twitch (reminds me of my cat when she gets a twitchy leg). The model animations and sound effects are just perfect. To this day I still can’t watch the Murphy “death” scene - I walked in on that moment of the movie playing as a kid and ended up a bit traumatised lol. All these years later and countless horror movies watched and it’s still a scene I cannot stomach. It was my first introduction to Kurtwood Smith, so I really struggled to take to Red Forman lol. I enjoyed the RoboCop episode of The Movies That Made Us on Netflix, and can recommend giving it a watch, I think you might enjoy it too.

I recommended this a while back and it’s nice to see you finally get to it! This is one of those films I had no business watching when I was little but I did anyways. On the surface it seems like a film for kids - cyborgs and killer robots, plus I loved the Sega Genesis game “Robocop vs. Terminator” so naturally I wanted to see the film. When I did see it I distinctly remembered the scene where they sadistically murder Murphy haunting me as a child and feeling too embarrassed to leave the room in case my brother made fun of me. Although this film doesn’t even come close to the one that truly ruined my childhood - “Fire in the Sky” . As an adult, however I really appreciate how well crafted this film is - I love how you get subtle hints of Murphy’s soul still trapped in the machine - the gun twirl, scraping the bottom of the ramp in his police cruiser, and the same lines used from when he was still a whole man. It’s like he is regaining bits and pieces of his humanity throughout the film until the very end when he fully reclaims his identity by outsmarting his programming and calling himself Murphy. Also the soundtrack! I couldn’t agree more that this soundtrack is totally tits.

Bruce Wesley

Traumatized me too! It’s the level of sadism and enjoyment they get out of it that’s so troubling to me.

James Hadden

Agreed. Glad I’m not alone 😊

Verowak

Definitely a kids' movie! 🤣 They don't shy away from brutal scenes. I'm glad you rewatched it as an adult and got to enjoy the subtlelty that you missed as kid (you know, being haunted and all 🤣) I love it that he is still in there and his mannerisms still show

Verowak

The effects are so good! I also love the toxic melting getting splattered, it's so gross!! Oh gosh, seeing Red Forman after this would be a nightmare! At any moment, he could destroy Eric 😨🤣 I'm glad you like this movie!! And I'll have to look at the episode you mentioned, it sounds like a neat series

Verowak

Ah, Basil Poledouris, that's where I know the name from!!! Thank you for that reminder. I'm just astounded by the practical effects. 80s movies have a special place in that the practical effects can be so amazing even now. It's impossible to not appreciate them

Just like Philadelphia has the Rocky statue, Detroit has an 11 ft. tall bronze Robocop statue, just installed in 2025!
